Externally and in our own operations, we are now experiencing a slowdown as a result of war, increased material and fuel prices, inflation and rising interest rates. Although we have mentioned an emerging shift in our development in our latest reports, what we are now encountering in the market is coming at us with force and impact. The positive trend that we have reported for a few quarters has not yet taken us to a place where we are able to absorb the effects of the slowdown.
Our result for the quarter was clearly affected by the market situation, in which a decline in transactions is one example. Our overall business is dependent on sales from our project development operations, to generate earnings and free up capital. We need to increase the activities that build conditions for continuous transactions.
We also seeing effects in the contracting operations associated with the global situation: material prices have been exerting pressure on everyone for a long time, causing a generally difficult situation in the industry. The earnings of our contracting operations were impacted negatively in the amount of SEK25 million for the quarter by the bankruptcy of a subcontractor in our northern region.
The changed situation in which we find ourselves requires us to act and demonstrate our resolve. During the autumn, we have begun to implement a program in which we are implementing strong measures on a number of points: we are reorganizing and reducing our costs while streamlining our mission and facilitating governance. We are also limiting our investments in projects developed in-house, where we currently judge our market share as weak, particularly with regard to housing projects.
Our industry is cyclical and underlying needs for housing and community service properties will remain. We are continuing to develop areas such as digitalization, sustainability and a strong corporate culture to be even better equipped when things turn around.

At SEK2,684 million (1,196), order bookings were stronger than in the corresponding quarter last year, and our order backlog at the end of September amounted to SEK12 billion (12.6). We continue to see a trend towards an increased share of collaboration agreements within the community service property and industry segments, generating conditions for increased stability. Favorable recent examples of this include the contract for the Kalmarsundsverket water treatment plant, as well as suborder agreements for penitentiary buildings and the new arena in Uppsala.
The production of the Karlatornet tower is progressing as planned, in September passing another historic milestone when it became the tallest building in the Nordic region. We are now pouring the concrete for the 65th of a total of 73 stories, with the tower scheduled to reach its full height of 246 meters in July next year. Apartments in Karlatornet are being sold on an ongoing basis, with 488 of a total of 611 apartments having been sold to date. It is estimated that the first tenants will move in during the third quarter of 2023.
Finally, I would like to highlight the need for a continued strong focus on a safe and secure work environment. Our industry is still grappling with major risks and serious incidents and accidents. Nothing is more important than everyone being able to return home from work unharmed.

Consolidated sales amounted to SEK2,055 million (1,968). Business Area Sweden increased its income to SEK1,932 million (1,925)while Business Area Invest's income increased to SEK607 million (322).
The operating loss amounted to SEK39 million (profit 25), with the predominant negative effect stemming from Business Area Sweden's earnings due to price increases, and the bankruptcy of a subcontractor.
Net financial items amounted to a negative SEK48 million (positive 8) and were affected by the earlier sales of the Karlatornet tower and the Karlastaden Group, the loans for which were marked to market and discounted at interest corresponding to the difference between the assessed market interest rate and the agreed interest rate. This has had a non-recurring effect of a negative SEK49 million for the quarter. As the project progresses in accordance with the calculated forecast, the corresponding amounts will gradually have a positive effect on net interest income. During the quarter, borrowing expenses of SEK15 million (8) on project properties were capitalized.
The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK5 million (income 4). The negative tax effect for the period is primarily explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions.
The loss for the period amounted to SEK92 million (profit 37) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were a negative SEK3.25 (positive 1.32).
Consolidated income amounted to SEK6,765 million (6,192), an increase of 9percent. Business Area Sweden increased its income by 17percent to SEK6,667 million (5,714). The increase in Sweden is explained by Karlatornet being in full production and by projects
included in previously divested portfolios also being produced at a high rate. Business Area Invest's income increased to SEK1,580 million (1,106), with the increase consisting primarily of, for example, the sale of parts 1 and 2 of the Auriga block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, but also of construction income of SEK962 million for the Karlatornet AB joint venture. Groupinternal eliminations amounted to SEK1,621 million and pertained primarily to internal deliveries to Karlastaden.
Operating profit amounted to SEK58 million (164). The change compared with the corresponding period last year primarily involves lower profit on sales in Business Area Invest. External unease, which has also impacted the market situation and price trends for materials, as well as the bankruptcy of a subcontractor, have also affected operating profit negatively compared with the corresponding period last year.
Net financial items amounted to a negative SEK42 million (positive 18) and were affected by the earlier sales of the Karlatornet tower and the Karlastaden Group of a negative SEK49 million for the third quarter. The loans were marked to market and discounted at interest corresponding to the difference between the assessed market interest rate and the agreed interest rate. During the period, borrowing expenses of SEK24 million (35) on project properties were capitalized.
The Group reported estimated tax income of SEK19 million (80). The positive tax effect for the period is primarily explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions.
Profit for the period amounted to SEK35 million (262) and earnings per share after dilution for the period were SEK1.24 (9.38).

The Serneke Group is divided into three segments: Sweden, Invest and International, which are reported as individual operating segments.
Business Area Sweden conducts contracting operations in the areas of construction, civil engineering and infrastructure, as well as project development operations by developing project and development properties. The business area conducts construction contracting for both external customers, as well as Business Area Invest.
Business Area Invest conducts development projects with a higher degree of complexity, a higher transaction risk and a greater need for capital to be tied up. The business area generates internal assignments for Serneke Sweden's contracting operations.
Business Area International brings the Group's international investments together. The business area is currently in a start-up phase, consisting primarily of an ongoing initiative in project exports. Due to its current scope, the segment will not be described in this report, other than in the tables below on this page and in the "multi-year overview" on page 18.
Other operations are reported under Group-wide, which primarily comprises Group functions and Group-wide provisions.

*The comparative figures have been recalculated in accordance with the new segment reporting
To a certain extent, Serneke's operations are subject to seasonal effects. The contracting operations normally experience lower activity in the first quarter of the year due to fewer production days and, to a greater extent than normal, the weather during the winter months. Earnings are also affected by where public holidays fall, as this affects the number of production days.

The operating profit and operating margin for the quarter were negatively affected by indirect effects associated with price increases in the market as a result of the unease in Europe, the inflation trend and a bankruptcy.
Income amounted to SEK6,667 million (5,714), an increase of 17percent.

Development in the market and future prospects have shifted towards a higher degree of uncertainty, requiring continued vigilance.
Underlying demand remains, although reflecting a certain shift from private clients for residential projects to local government clients, with increased orders for public spaces and public properties.
At the end of the third quarter, the external order backlog amounted to SEK11,994 million (12,642). This entails a decrease of 5percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.
Of the order backlog for the upcoming years, green projects account for SEK5,070 million. The projects involve constructing properties in accordance with established certification requirements that agree with Serneke's green framework.

Operational risks are managed by the internal business management that has been developed within the Group. Identifying and managing Serneke's risks is crucial to the Group's profitability. Each segment manages its risks based on the business management and developed procedures and processes. Serneke's financial risks such as interest rate, liquidity, financing and credit risks are managed centrally in order to minimize and control risk exposure. The liquidity situation is assessed on an ongoing basis by the Board and Group Management. Serneke is now experiencing a slowdown in the market in Sweden as a result of increased material and fuel prices, inflation and rising interest rates. The positive trend reported by the Company for some time cannot fully absorb the effects of the slowdown. The Company's overall business is dependent on sales from the project development operations. The shortfall in transactions affected earnings and resulted in a negative cash flow for the first nine months of 2022. Serneke's Board of Directors and Group Management are working on a series of measures to safeguard access to the requisite liquidity. During the autumn, the Company began implementing a program in which strong measures are to be taken with the aim of reducing costs and limiting investment in projects developed in-house, as well as intensifying efforts on sales of the Group's project portfolio and other assets with the aim of streamlining the Company's operations and freeing up liquidity. Ongoing dialogues are also being conducted with creditors. In the view of the Board of
Directors and Group Management, implementing the aforementioned measures will secure sufficient liquidity to safeguard continued operation.
For further information on risks, as well as critical estimates and assessments, see the Board of Directors' Report and Notes 3 and 4 in the 2021 Annual Report. The descriptions in the Annual Report remain relevant. The Annual Report is published at www.serneke.group.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 intensified the effects on the global economy that became apparent during the corona pandemic. The sanctions against Russia and Belarus introduced as a result of the war and the widespread uncertainty in the global economy are affecting the supply and transport of materials, as well as purchasing prices.
During the period, inflation and interest rates also shifted sharply, which could have an impact in the future through further increased prices and subdued demand.
No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
Serneke Group AB has two share series, Series A and B. On September 30, 2022, Serneke had approximately 7,058 shareholders and the closing price on September 30, 2022, was SEK32.0.

This information is such that Serneke Group AB (publ) is obliged to publish pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication on October 27, 2022, at 8:00 a.m.
Serneke Group AB (publ) Corp. ID No. 556669–4153
We have performed a summary review of the interim financial information (interim report) for Serneke Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Without affecting our conclusion above, we would like to draw the reader's attention to the information provided in the interim report under the section "Significant risks and uncertainties" on pages 13-14. It states that the company's cash flow for the nine-month period is negative. The company is working with a series of measures in order to reduce costs and limit investments in self-developed projects and intensified work with the sale of the group's project portfolio as well as other assets with the aim of streamlining the company's operations and improving liquidity. Furthermore, dialogues are held with various creditors. The measures aim to ensure access to the necessary liquidity to continue the company's development according to plan.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as interpretations of current International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) standards as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's reports have been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. ESMA's guidelines on alternative key indicators are applied in the report.
The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the 2021 Annual Report. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2021 Annual Report, see www.serneke.se.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified according to one of three levels based on the information used to establish the fair value. The Group only holds financial assets and liabilities valued in level 3, which is why levels 1 and 2 have been omitted in the table below. No transfers have been made between the levels during the periods. A more detailed description of the levels can be found in Note 4 of the 2021 Annual Report.
Level 1 – Valuation is made according to prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2 – Financial instruments for which the fair value is established based on valuation models that are based on observable data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3 – Financial instruments for which fair value is established based on valuation models where significant inputs are based on non-observable data.

* As of September 30, 2022, the shareholder loan for Karlatornet is recognized at SEK1,231 million. The remainder of the receivable is attributable to the joint ventures established with Fastighets AB Balder in 2020 and in the second quarter of 2021. ** In the fair value calculation of available-for-sale financial assets at level 3, the market price method has been applied and the yield value assumption has been used. *** In the fair value calculation of the additional purchase considerations at level 3, project estimates, budgets and forecasts have been applied.
For the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities, the reported values are assessed as corresponding to FAIR VALUE. No significant changes in valuation models, assumptions or inputs were made during the period.
The repayment of the financial receivables regarding Karlatornet presupposes that the underlying calculations, which also pertain to the valuation of the underlying assets, proceed in accordance with the forecast and, if a deviation were to occur entailing there being no funds available to enable the payment of the dividend to Balder, Serneke has undertaken to convert the shareholder loan into a contingent shareholder contribution.
The Group pledges collateral for external loans. The Group's contingent liabilities arise primarily in connection with different property disposals, whereby various operational guarantees may occur, as well as performance guarantees for future contracts. Serneke Group AB (publ) has also entered into a guarantee undertaking, which means that the co-owners in Prioritet Serneke Arena are jointly responsible for the correct fulfillment of interest and repayment of the associate's liabilities to credit institutions in the event that the associate is unable to pay.

Income from contracting agreements is reported in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, either by fulfilling the performance undertaking over time (that is, gradually) or at one specific time. Contracting agreements entail the construction contract being performed on the customer's land, where an asset is created over which the customer gains control in pace with the completion of the asset. This entails income being recognized gradually (over time), applyingpercentage-of-completion. When applyingpercentage-of-completion, the input method applies whereby income is reported based on the degree of completion, which is calculated as the ratio between the expenses incurred for work performed at the end of reporting period and the estimated total expenses for the assignment. Revaluations of the projects' final forecasts entail corrections of previously accrued profits. If it is probable that the total contract expenses will exceed the total contract income, the anticipated loss should be immediately recognized as a cost in its entirety. Modification and supplementary orders are included in the commission income to the extent that they have been approved by the customer.
On disposal of properties or development rights directly or indirectly through a sale of shares, the underlying property or development right's value is recognized in the Group as income. Income from property sales is reported on gaining access to the property. When agreements include both property sales and building rights, as well as a contracting agreement for the planned building for the buyer, an assessment is made as to whether the property and/or building rights transactions and the contracting agreement, respectively, are separate performance commitments. Depending on the design and terms of the agreement, the sale can be seen as one or several
performance undertakings. Sales are reported at the point in time at which control is transferred to the buyer. Control is transferred over time if the seller has no alternative use for the property sold and the seller is entitled to payment from the customer for the work performed. In such cases, income is reported applyingpercentage of completion. If any of the above criteria are not met, income is reported at a single point in time, on completion and transfer to the customer. Sales of development rights can be dependent upon decisions regarding future detailed development plans. An assessment is then made as to the likelihood of the respective detailed development plan. Sales income and earnings are recognized when the probability is deemed to be very high. When sales income is recognized, all remaining commitments in the sales earnings are also taken into account. Occasionally, property projects are sold with guarantees of a certain level of leasing, and, at the time of sale, any rental guarantees are reported as a reserve in the project, which then has a positive effect on successive profit recognition as letting takes place.
Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leasing. Rental income is announced in advance and accrued on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the terms of the leases. Rent paid in advance reported as prepaid rental income. In cases where the rental contract allows a reduced rent for a certain period of time, which is compensated for by higher rent during another period, this is allocated across the term of the contract.
Other income refers to income not classified as construction income, property sales and building rights, or rental income such as hotel revenues, government subsidies, or income from central companies.
